Fellow Linuxers,
I dug up the answer to my SCSI CD problem. It was timing out whenever I did a massive cp from the CD to the SCSI hard disk. I slowed down the transfer rate for the CD device and it works much better. I used the following boot parameter: AMD53C974=7,5,4,0. I think the Toshiba XM-5301TA CD drive has a max. transfer rate of 4.4.
Now mega cp's run fine. But I still have occaisional problems with massive find's which search the entire CD drive. These operations still tend to timeout. I guess I'll lower the transfer rate a little more.
Just though I'd share my findings with my Linux friends. If anyone can tell me the optimum SCSI configuration for the Toshiba XM-5301TA CD drive on an AM53C974 controller, I'd be a very happer camper.
Thanks, Scott Miller stmiller@crosslink.net
